Solos & Collections

This timeless collection contains selections attributed to J. S. Bach, his son C.P.E. Bach, and others. Generations of students have studied the volume's "Menuet in G Major," "Musette in D Major" and the "Prelude in C Major" from the first volume of the Well-Tempered Clavier. Dr. Palmer provides the texts to the instrumental settings of chorales and arias found in this work, as well as a brief biography of the Bach family.

Easier than his Opp. 105 and 109, each selection exposes students to a different technical challenge with the main emphasis on the phrasing, articulation, and dynamics often found in Romantic piano music. The collection includes "Arabesque" and "Ballade," both popular with many early-intermediate pianists.

Jerry Ray has created ten beautiful and unique carol arrangements for the piano. Each interpretation is designed with an individual harmonic and/or rhythmic character that sets it apart from other hymn-styled arrangements of these Christmas favorites.

Compiled from a survey conducted among hundreds of U. S. piano teachers, these 64 well-known melodies were selected as being the most popular. With larger notation, fingering, pedaling and phrasing, this edition is perfect for "young" pianists of all ages.

Great motivational material for private or group lessons that is excellent for reinforcing note names and interval recognition. The pieces are useful for recital performances and family or group sing-alongs.
